A second teenager has been arrested in connection with the death of a father following a disturbance near a pub in the early hours of New Year's Day.
Former junior footballer Shaun Woodburn, 30, was found with serious injuries in Great Junction Street in the Leith area of Edinburgh at about 2am on January 1.
He was taken to the city's Royal Infirmary but died later that day.
A 16-year-old boy appeared in court charged with murder shortly after the incident.
Police Scotland announced on Thursday that a second male, aged 17, has now been arrested.
He is expected to appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Friday.
Detective Inspector Stuart Alexander, of Police Scotland's major investigation team, said: "We are committed to pursuing every possible line of inquiry as part of our ongoing investigation into Shaun's death and our condolences remain with his family and friends."
Mr Woodburn has been described by his family as a "selfless, kind and loving" man.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
